history

The museum goes back to the natural history teaching material collection of the reform pedagogy school by the sea , which was closed in 1934 and which the art educator and natural history teacher Fritz Hafner put together partly together with the physics teacher Erna Vohsen and the chemistry and physics teacher Paul Reiner , who had also studied mineralogy. After the island community had acquired several of the former school buildings, Hafner offered the community the collection as the basis for a local museum, enriched with paintings from his own artistic work. The community accepted the proposal and appointed Hafner as the first museum director. He held the office until 1953, then his son took over the multifaceted task for three years. Under his successor Arend Lang , the expansion of the house into a coastal museum began, which today resides in two modernized and expanded wings of the former school home. The seawater aquarium set up by the school with thirty tanks existed until the end of the 1950s. In 1958, a lake water basin was built in the north inner courtyard , in which the seal "Billi" romped until the mid-1970s, a public favorite for young and old.

Since Lang's death in February 1981, the municipality has been running the house in cooperation with the youth education center Theodor Wuppermann . Hans Kolde was involved in the museum for decades until 2011 , after which the architect and graduate engineer Jochen Büsing took over the management.
